“Jenevieve provided updates and pictures of Kinnick during his stay. Love getting the updates and pics!! This was the 2nd time using Jenevieve and we will definitely use her again!”

“I have used Erin and Chris to watch my chocolate lab many many times! I feel so comfortable leaving town because I know they treat my dog like he is their own! If you are searching Rover to find a potential sitter, just stop and book on their page. You won’t regret it!❤️”

Lauren L.

“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”

“Cassandra is the first place we have found that gives our anxious bull dog a place that feels like home! Lots of updates and great communication.”

Chris H.

“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”

Cheyenne M.

“My baby boy had a fantastic overnight with Bailee and her fur babies. It's so important that I know Tootie is comfortable and loved in my absence. I watched as Tootie entered the home. He walked around, sniffing. I saw that Tootie was comfortable. Bailee sent pictures and many comical comments. She brought many smiles to my face. Thank you Bailee for loving Tootie.”

Carolyn M.

“Briana took such good care of Siri and sent us photos and updates daily. Siri was very happy playing with the other puppies, which is very unusual for her. We will use Briana’s services again!”

“Madison was great with my two doodles!! She was consistent with sending me updates and photos over the weekend while I was out of town. My dogs and her lab got along great as well, so that’s always a plus! I have already booked their next stay with her later this month 🙌🏻”

Miranda G.

“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”

Kimberley M.

“Kol stayed with them for 7 days and he had such a great time! Daily walks, lots of playtime and socialization, and I got many updates as well. He had such a great time and I wasn't worried about him for a second. 5/5 would recommend”

“Meagan and family were so kind and welcoming! Grateful for her flexibility to set up a meet and greet and for the attentive and loving care my dog received while with her! I’ll admit - I can be a helicopter dog mom and Meagan received all my info and requests with such kindness. Definitely look forward to booking again and HIGHLY recommend! 😃”

“Cathy and Judy were great! We appreciate all of the care and fun our Finnegan had with their Baxter and with them. We will definitely use them again.”

About: I've had animals my entire life! I have experience in puppy training, senior care, post surgery care, dogs of all sizes, bathing, nail trims for cats and dogs, and administering medication. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I'm available during the day, weekends and most evenings too! I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run around. I also live right by a park with a nice walking path. My current dog is allowed on our couches, sleeps in our bed, and doesn't need a crate. I love to take my dog on walks and play tug of war, or play fetch with him!

“My pup Tucker had a great time with Stephanie & Shawn! They provided a good amount of updates and Tucker was worn out when he got back home! Will definitely stay in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Anna, I’ve always loved animals, I had three chihuahuas and a golden retriever growing up. I currently have a Pomeranian bichon mix named Dr. Pepper and a Russian blue kitty cat named Mr. Pickles. My furry friends are treated like family and are the most pampered princes. My friends have relied on me to take care of their furry family members while they have been away and it warms my heart to see the unconditional love that pets bring us. I am available anytime day or night to assist with drop ins or dog walking as needed! I live in the Ankeny area and am willing to travel a reasonable distance I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, I currently have a Russian blue cat and a little Pomeranian mix floof puppy. I understand that your pets are family and I promise to love them dearly and make them feel safe in your absence :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had a Shih Tzu for 8 years. I’m very experienced in dog walking, reading emotions, bathing, feeding, and being attentive. I’ve dog sat multiple times overnight and daily. I genuinely love dogs, never want them to feel neglected, and want to spend as much time with them as possible and as I don’t have my own at the moment! I’m a senior in high school and play basketball and soccer. I’m available for boarding any nights of the week. I have open periods throughout the day where I could dog walk, check in etc. My weekends are normally very free and flexible for boarding, sitting, walking etc. I have a good sized yard and spacious house for your dog to feel free and cozy. I have a safe neighborhood to take long walks in. Pets can be on furniture, I have a stake to keep them tied up outside, available leashes etc.

“Awesome, as always! I sent through a request 2 hours before we needed to leave town and she replied right away and took Max for the weekend. He's really attached to us, but when I dropped him off, I couldn't get his leash unhooked fast enough so he could run off and play. Melted my heart! He loves his stays with Sarah! She's the BEST!”

“Benny was calm and happy when we picked him up. There was excellent communication throughout our visit — Many thanks from us & wagging tales from Benny”

Laura B.

“Kayla was a fantastic host for our dog. This was our first Rover experience and she made it a great one. Very responsive and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and truly consider them family. I’m a teacher with summers off, which gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior pets—my own dog is 13 and gentle with other animals. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to make them feel right at home. Since I’m a teacher on summer break, I’m home most of the day and can easily build my routine around caring for pets. Walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks are naturally spaced throughout the day. I enjoy keeping a calm, consistent environment, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for just like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly space where your dog can relax and feel at ease. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—whether that means specific feeding times, regular walks, or play and rest schedules. I give lots of love and attention throughout the day and keep a close eye on how they’re feeling. My own senior dog is very laid-back and used to sharing the space. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
